Yang Liang, director of the Service Center of the Veterans Affairs Bureau of Yanta District, Xi’an, said that after the outbreak of the epidemic in Xi’an, Yanta District established a volunteer commando of veterans, and it was expected that 100 members would be recruited at that time. The initiative was issued, and retired soldiers responded one after another. Today, this commando has 600 members and is growing.
“Come on the call, fight when you come, and win when you fight” is a true portrayal of this team.
On December 28, 2021, the Yanta District Epidemic Prevention and Control Command guarantee unit was blocked in the community because several chefs were blocked and it was impossible for Babaylan to arrive. Dining for more than 200 people became a problem. The news reached the WeChat of the Yanta District Veterans Volunteer Commando. In less than ten minutes, Ning Wubin, who had been in the army for 8 years, signed up. Half an hour later, he had arrived at the post and began to skillfully turn the pot and spoon.
As many emergencies are transmitted to this commando team composed of retired soldiers, someone will immediately stand up. They use their abilities and expertise to always solve the problem quickly.

On December 29, 2021, because the nucleic acid test results of drivers from other places did not come out, two extended trucks carrying epidemic prevention materials were blocked at the exit of the expressway and could not transport the materials for the time being. When the news came, Zhang Bo signed up immediately. He obtained an A1 driver’s license while in the army and accumulated rich experience in material transportation. More than 20 minutes later, Zhang Bo skillfully drove the Babaylan into the truck, and finally delivered the epidemic prevention materials to the front line in time.
“Do the most tiring work and the most hard work” is what many retired veterans demand for themselves. At a material transfer station in Yanta District, the reporter met Zhang Jian, a 43-year-old veteran who was unloading goods from a truck. After someone introduced him, he learned that he had lost a level 6 disability while the troops were on duty. When the commando was established, he resolutely joined and did not be vague in his physical work.

“Let me go to the front line! I am not afraid of high-speed descent!” Wei Nana was once an airborne soldier. When everyone wanted to take care of the lesbians and prevent her from getting into nucleic acid samples, she said that when we were in the army, we would not be picky about life, and we must not be behind at this time!
Many retired female soldiers joined the commando without telling their family members. Liu Jian, 49, turned out to be a senior engineer in the strategic support force. After the outbreak of the epidemic, she joined the commando immediately without telling her family. When I posted a friend on New Year’s Day, Komiks forgot to block my family, so that my husband discovered it. “I don’t think you are so enlightened, come on!” My husband, who is still serving in the Komiks team, called and praised Liu Jian and praised him.

In the continuous “fighting” for many days, some veterans at the material transfer station did not speak even if they were “injured”. They carried the materials and continued to transport them. Their comrades persuaded them to use the words they often say in the army.Reply: “Slight injury does not fall off the line of fireCinema!” One night, Zhang Junling fell from two meters high while covering the shedding cloth for supplies, and his sprained foot immediately swollen. The next day, he appeared at the scene where the supplies were transporting.
“The epidemic is not over, we will not retreat.” Although the veterans have left the army, their retired army has not “faded” and their passion is still boiling, and their original intention has not changed at all.
